It will be observed here that the democracy has at least one eyo on the county court house at Falls City. The court houses are besieged by demo- crats all along the line. Tor New York democratic platform pronounces reciprocity humbug. This shows how little business sense and how much political nonsense there is in con- trol of the demoeracy of the Empire state. If reciprocity is a humbug, com- merce is an anomoly and trado a wild vagary. —— ROSWELL P. FLOWER is the lamb led to the slaughter by the governor-senator of New York and his machine.

The republican party can go into the fight stripped of every dead weight if the convention will do its duty in nominat- ing an anti-monopoly ticket and adopt- ing an anti-monopoly platform, —— A vast difference exists between the agricultural farmer and the politi- cal farmer. It is the former who making shipwreck of the sub-treasury nonsense by gathering in the biggest crop ever grown in the country. It is the other kind of farmer that is shriek- ing about calamity.

Preston B, Plumb, senior senator from Kansas: Wasiisaros, D.

I am not a member of the re- publican national committee, and have no in- fluence with any one who is. There are, how- ever, many things in favor of Omaha, and 1 am quite weiined to think thatif the decision would rest with me your people would have no reason to complain. The location is ood, and if the hotel accommodations are sufii- clently ample, her chance onght to be of the very best. In fact, 1 am not sure but that it would be a good and fair recommendation if the hotel space was not sufficient for the uc- commodation of the very large crowd of peo- vle who usually attend such conventions. It sometimes happens that the crowd and not the delegates make the nominations. Still a ood attendance is desireable, and I do not know of any reason why there would not be many people at Omaha as there would be at Chicago, 1f the convention was held there. For the reason hereinbefore stated, however, my opinion will probabiy have no weight, but Omaha is likely to havethe benefit of my ®ood will at least. P. B. PLums, press in e, m we active tion own FRUITS OF RECIPROCITY. The facts which show the good results of reciprocity leave no standing ground for the opponents of that policy. Neither democratic denunciation nor mugwump count anything against the statistics which show that reciproeity is accomplishing just what it was expected %, extending the markets for American products and increasing our com- The statement just sent out from Washington regarding + the vesult in Brazil is of the most gratifying character, and yet trade with that coun- try since the reciprocity agreemen was effceted has been subject to great ob- stucles. When all the difficulties are considered it is certainly something for the friends of reciprocity toboast of that the exports to Brazil in June of this year were nearly double in value the ex- ports of the same month of last year, justifying the estimate that the increase for the year from the time the urrangement went into effect April-1 last, will be nearly 36,000,000, and that we shall exp to Brazil in the fiscal year ending June 80, 1892, merchandise to the value of $25.- 000,000. Tt is interesting to note that the increase of exports is made up largely of the products of agriculture, thus demonstrating that reciprocity is operating directly in the intevests of tho farmers of the country. This will doubt- less be made stiil movre apparent in the trade with the Spanish West [ndies under the arrangement with Spain, The latest information regarding the proposed reciprocity with Venezuela is to the effect that the people of that country are very anxious to have it ef- fected and that the delay in the negotia- tians is not due to opposition to the policy, but to the desire of the govern- ment of Venezuela to have certain modifications in the agreement sub- mitted which are necessary to its revenues. There is no pronounced hos- tility to reciprocity, but on the contrary tho southern countvy strongly desires an equitable arrangement, not alone for commorcial ons, but it is said in order also to obtain a stronger moral support in the resistance which it is making to the absorption of its eastern frontier by Great Britain. Presidont Haurrison, it is stated, has steadily re- fused to confuse the two questions with each other, but has intimated that after reciprocity is accomplished our government will do what the circum- stances permit to retard the aggressions of the British empire. The promise of a reciprocity arrange- ment between the United States and Mexico is said to be exerting a stimulat- ing influence upon the trado of the two countries, the commerciai relations of which are growing steadily closer. The latest statistics show a gratifying in- crease in our exports of merchandise to Mexico, and give assurance that with the obstacles removed and an equitable system of reciprocity established the ade of the United States with the ghboring republic would in a short time double Reciprocity already borne good fruit, und there is the strongest reason to believe it will continue todo soin steadily enlarging amount. Democrats may churacterize it as humbug, because it interferes with their demand for prac- tical free trade, but the intelligent American voter will consult the facts, and these are uniform in support of the reciprocity volicy success red THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY. The ticket nominated by the New York democracy is not in the interest of the presidential aspivations of Governor Hill. It is in effect a declaration of in- dependence of the power and dictation of that self-seeking and unscrupulous poli- ticlan. It is an announcement that the m nagement of the democratic ma- chine in the FEmpire state is to pass into other hands, whether or not for the betterment of the party it | would be hazardous to prediet, theugh | it is safe to say that no control could be morally worse than that of Hill and the wen who bave obeyed bis commands. | [ | The THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FHURSDAY, is nothing obnoxious to falr and honest politics that has not been prac- ticed by the democracy of New York in late years, Consequently there is little danger that democratic methods in that state will more rupt and unscrupulous than have been, nd the hand there is little to they will be much improved. T} be cor- thoy other expeet men on reason | who have been pushed to the frout are not known to be reformers. Roswell P, Flower, the candidate for nor, has been prominent in the democratic councils of New Youk for a number of years. He has been in two congresses, the Forty-seventh and the Fifty-first, and was lected to the Fifty-second congross. He did not par- ticularly daistinguish himself asa legisla- tor, though he did not wholly fail to com- mand attention. He is several times a millionaire and spends money liberally for political purposes. It was nnder- stood a month agothat Flower was Hill's choice, but it has recentty been revealed that he never expected to nominate Flower. It transpires, also, that Flower is under pledge to Clevelund. Sheehan, the candidate for lieutenant governor, was also understood o short time ago to be the preference of Hill for that posi- tion on the tickot, but almost at the last moment the tricky governor sought to drive him from the gh he was a supporter of Hill's presidential aspirations. Flower and Sheehan joined forces and took com mand of the convention, thus practical driving Hill from his po: torial leadership. The situation is one that ought to be very encouraging to the republicans of New York. Itcan hardly fail to intensify the factional conflict in the democratic ranks. Hill is not rendered powerless and being secure in his position as a United States senator for six years, he will not hesitate to use what power is left him to defeat the plans of his ene- mies, who include everybody he cannot He has been thwarted, but he will not surrender without a serious effort to show that he is still a leader with a loyal following. At uny rate this would be in accordance with his past course, and he 1s too shrewd a politician not to that i he should per- mit the men who have baflled him to have everything theic own way he might as well dismiss all political hope for the future. The indications are‘that the action of the New York democrati convention is a distinet gain for Cleve- land, but this cannot be fally determined excopt by the result of the election. As the situation is now presented demo- cratic harmony in New York would seom to be almost impossible and all the con- ditions appear to strongly favor repub- lican success in November. govel oV track, althou tion of dicta- use. very seo THE New Yors democrats differ from their political brethren in Iowa in the fact that they do not want the free and unlimited coinage of silver. They are not monometalists, but they favor an honest dollar and a stable currency Substantially adopting the phrase of President Harrison, they demand that every dollar issued by the United States shail be as good as every other dollar. To have been entirely candid and explicit they ought to have denounced free coin- age, but there can be no mistake as to what they meant. It serves warning on all such democrats as Governor Boics, who favor opening the mints of this country toa flood of foreign silver and paying a large bounty to American bullion producers, that they have noth- ing to expect from the democracy of Now Yor Tur Australian ballot will make it impossible for the enemy to fight from an ambuscade of bolted doors, and secret, lodge meetings.

The new law affords little chance for bull-dozing, bribery or other improper methods of controlling elections, MoREARTY thanked God that there were demoerats enough in the council to prevent the confirmation of John B. Furay. The councilman from the Seventh ward was too devout and in- stead of thanking his Creator for the events of the evening when the council adjorrned he was taking the name of of the Deity In vain in another tone of voice. Major FURAY is finally confirmed as a member of the Board of Public Works to succced himsolf. The major’s con- firmation is proof that caucus combines on the part of democrats are not always as solid s they appear on the face. It is also evidenco that at least one repub- lican member of the council is very, very lonesome indeed. I WOULD be interesting to know just how many delegates to the Gemocratic state cenvention rode to Grand Island on railrond passes. 1t is clear that the Omaha contingent literally held the voads up for scores of the coveted white cards, knowing that at this critical june- ture the rvailroads aare not refuse to grant such fave Tue Sixth Ward Republican club is patriotically at work preparing for the republican jubileo of October 17th in Exyposition hall.

The farce of monarchy and the illogic of crowned heads was nover more clearly shown than in Kaiser William's visits to sister states. In Munich he would have visited old King Otto, tho imbecile, if 1t had not been that he was warned that the monarch was even too far gone for that. IfOtto had been less an imbecile tho edifying spoctacle might have been seon of a state ceremony in which lack of brains was lifted to a pedestal of com- parative greatness, What with a regency in Bavarla, and child prodigies ruling by proxy in Spain and Holiand, it is easily scen that in ISurove the people are stiil the subjects, and that the divine right of rulers is not a dead theory. o bies The President as a Traveller.

In ono sense it is nobody’s business, except drum- mers, to go upon the road. But it 1s certaicly a business of the president to promote pub- lic zood feeling, and, as the chief representa- tivoof tho government, to appear on pub- lic occasions of patriotic interest. Wiatever he can do personally to cultivate frienaly relations between all parts of the country, and, under the circamstances, especially in the southern states, is well done. President Harrison’s tour last spring was an excellent public service. The tact of his speechies was remarkable, and undoubtedly promoted kindly foeling. He would be a fortunate man if no other objection could be made to bis administration than that he makes little tours and goud specches. b il ASSING JESTS, The New York Flower is a daisy—a$10,000,000 political daisy.

Wasmixatox Buneaw or Tie Bee, FOURTRENTH STREET, Wasiixarox D, C., Sept. 10, Presdent Harrison had a busy day of it with those who merely called to welcome him back to Washington and to congratul him upon his rugged appearance or speak of appointments, Thero were a number of del- gations to request his presence at expositions, celebrations or other public ovents. The president doss not intend to leave his post of duty for the present. Ho has much work be- fore him with his annual message to congress and a large number of 1mportant appoint- ments. It is understood that tho vacancies on tho court of claims, Interstato Commerce vom- mission, a number of postmaster, possibly a collector customs for the port of New York to succeed J. Gloat Kassett, the repuvlican nomineo for governor of New York, and sev- eral other prominent places will be filled within very few days, pos- sivly this weok. The court of claim’s vacancy will likelv go to a point bovond the Buckeye state instead of falling to ex-Congressman ‘Thompson of Ports- mouth, O. The vacancy on the Interstate Commerce commission made by the death of Mr Bragg of Alabama will go south again and provably fall to Colonel Glenn, o well known democratic lawyer at Atlanta, Ga. The other vacancy on the comission, cre- ated by the resignation of Judge Cooley of Michigan is claimed by the samo state and the name of Hon. Alfred Russell of Detroit 15 being urged by Michigan republicans, but no conclusions has as you been reached aud it is not at all improbable that some other Wolverine republican may be called. ‘Lho suegestion that Attorney General Miller is to be appoiuted on the new circuit, covering lis native state, when the suprems court appointments are made about Decem- ber, has taken deep root in ofticial and Hoosie circles, und 15 accepted now as a foragon conclusion. It is also thought that the pro- determinntion to place him on the United States circuit bench will have a strong bear- ing upon some other appointments. Neither the president nor tho attorney general have spoken for publication upon this subject, nor have either made an intimation to their frionds, uor has any one of thom been author- ized to speak for either, but acts in other dircctions have led to tho conviction hero that General Miller will be appointed to the cuit judgeship, MAT COME TO NEBRASKA. It is stated tonight that the names of John L. Webster of Omaha and G. M. Lambertson of Liucoln are being considered seriously for for the place on the Interstate Commerce commission vacated by Judge Cooley. There is a strong feeling here, as well as in the west, that the country ' beyond the Missouri, which is more than any other section 1nter: ested in common carriers, not only should, but must have a member of the commissiou. It has uone at present. The name of Hon. J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska has beon mentioned 1 this connec- tion but while he 1s recognized as a very capable lawyer, his connection with railroad interests and the fact that ne is a democrat, and the democrat on the commission 1s to como from the south, makes his appointment out of the question.
